if we were assembling a squad for the championship, i'd say it was a good move. as it stands, players are going but none are coming, nor is a manager and the end of the transfer window is looming.

he was different class like. shame he never did it for england....or us. he was like a beached whale by the time he rocked up at sjp

Fabulous player though. hansen/lawro was probably the best centre back pairing i've seen in the top flight of english football

Dominant is perhaps the wrong word - they were certainly the most attractive/flare-ful of the Liverpool teams of the 70s/80s but I'd say the previous team of about 84 were more dominant in being more "professional" - ie win at all cost cunts. that team of the late 80s were so good to watch though. pedro, digger barnes, rush/aldridge, houghton et al different class lol at defensive tactics before the back pass rule came in

the liverpool side of the 70s and 80s should top the list. although that everton side of the mid 80s was class. southall, radcliffe, bracewell, reid, sheedy, stevens, steven and take your pick from sharpe, gray and lineker up top.

yeah. lita and nugent would be decent additions. i think we really need a young whippersnapper with pace to burn and an old wiley pro to play alongside him. shearer could probably still do a job in the championship if he had a pacey kid alongside him to do all his running. he'd be like sherringham the year pompey went up

another who can do a job at this level but can we afford the wages and his attitude? it'll only be a matter of time before he either kicks off with another team mate, spits at a fan, assualts a ref etc

one thing is for sure. shola/carrol is not a viable combination up front, even at this level

one up from jfk i suppose

i think saturday showed it's absolutely vital we get in a couple of strikers, takeover or no takeover. but who could we attract at a reasonable price that could do a job at championship level? i have no idea.

like a lot of our players, i think he has found his level. duff looked good too but can we keep hold of either of them on premiership wages?

Any guesses what the starting lineup will be tomorrow? shola and carrol up front?

£8m is decent money for a man that we got for next to nowt

where's your assesment of the rudderless, sinking ship that is nufc?

great news. smith can take his place in centre mid

can't see martins still being here takeover or no takeover

what the fuck are we going to do if we end up with the same group of players at the start of the season, an owener still in charge of the club that doesn't want to be here, a crippling wage bill and players that would rather fuck off elsewhere too? it doesn't bear thinking about

that's what i'm saying. i assumed even he couldn't be this stupid and it would be sorted by now but that was based on common sense rather than what we've seen so far from ashley. deep down, i suspected he would let it come to this. i'm shitting myself about this new season.

the owner isn't doing a lot to encourage people to renew. honmestly, it's like he's trying to decrease the value of the club as much as possible. i don't get it

You must be in your element. oh yeah, i'm loving it

less than 3 weeks until the start of the season and still no sign of a new owner, a new manager or any new players. even if a deal does go through soon - and there's no sign that it will - at this rate we will be lucky to have any kind of pre-season in before the championship kicks off. had a sale been wrapped up earlier in the summer me might have been able to plan for a promotion push. as long as things stay as they are, i'll be more worried about relegation to league 1. absolute nightmare scenario is ashley still being in charge when the transfer window closes. the most depressing thing is the natural pessimist in me saw it all coming.

can't afford the cunt's wages even if we wanted to keep him

where's the 0 out of 10 option?

here's my prediction: Harper Raylor-Saylor-Edgar-Kadar Lua Lua-Guthrie-Butt-Duff Smith-Carroll that would be a disaster tbh
